JANE G.WEILAND, SCTM# 1000-111.-13-11
This application is to install an 18'x40' in-ground pool with a 12'x22' pool patio, pool
enclosure fencing with gates, a pool drywell, pool equipment area; and a stepping stone
path.
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter §268, Waterfront Consistency
Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program (LWRP) Policy Standards. Based upon the information provided on the LWRP
Consistency Assessment Form submitted to this department, as well as the records
available to me, it is my recommendation that the proposed action is CONSISTENT if
the following is changes are made in the application:
The applicant should alter the location of the pool and patio so as not to have to remove
mature trees on the property. There appears to be sufficient open space to accomplish
the proposed plan without removing trees.
This recommendation is based on the following LWRP policies highlighted in bold
below:
Policy 5 Protect and improve water quality and supply in the Town of Southold.
5.2 Minimize non-point pollution of coastal waters and manage activities causing
nonpoint pollution.
A. Minimize non-point pollution of coastal waters using the following approaches,
which are presented in order of priority.
1. Avoid non-point pollution by limiting non-point sources
d. Retain or establish vegetation to maintain or provide:
• soil stabilization
• filtering capacity in riparian and littoral zones
Policy 6 Protect and restore the quality and function of the Town of Southold ecosystem.
6.1 Protect and restore ecological quality throughout the Town of Southold.
A. Avoid adverse changes to the Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bay
ecosystems that would result from impairment of ecological quality as indicated
by:
1. Physical loss of ecological components Physical loss is often the most
obvious natural resource impairment to identify. It usually results from
discrete actions, such as filling or excavating a wetland or clearing an
upland forest community prior to development.
B. Protect and restore ecological quality by adhering to the following measures.
2. Retain and add indigenous plants to maintain and restore values of
natural ecological communities.
a. Protect existing indigenous plants from loss or disturbance
to the extent practical.
3. Avoid fragmentation of ecological communities and maintain
corridors to facilitate the free exchange of biological resources
within and among communities.
a. Each individual resource area should be maintained as a
complete contiguous area to protect the area's natural resource
values. Specifically, actions that would fragment the ecological
community into separate ecological islands should be
avoided.
b. Where fragmentation of ecological communities has already
occurred, the adverse effects of fragmentation can be mitigated by
maintaining or providing connecting corridors to allow
exchange of biological resources.

4. Maintain ecological integrity of particular locales by maintaining
structural and functional attributes, including normal variability, to
provide for self-sustaining systems.
5. Avoid permanent adverse change to ecological processes.
The proposed action has been reviewed to Chapter §268, Waterfront Consistency
Review of the Town of Southold Town Code and the Local Waterfront Revitalization
Program (LWRP) Policy Standards.
